Significant further information/revised plans submitted on this application
Core Refusal Reason
The Planning Authority issued a request for Further Information due to concerns regarding the status of an existing second dwelling on the landholding, the requirement for a Habitats Directive Screening Statement, and insufficient justification for the scale and design of the proposed stable block.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant is required to clarify the planning status, current use, and future proposed use of an existing second residential dwelling and entrance located on the family landholding.
- A Habitats Directive Screening Statement must be submitted to assess potential impacts on the River Boyne and River Blackwater SAC and SPA, given the site's hydrological connectivity to these Natura 2000 sites.
- The applicant must justify the requirement for a stable block of the proposed scale and submit revised proposals for wall and roof finishes that comply with rural design standards set out in Objective DM OBJ 62.
